With the happenings and events going on with his family – on both sides – Mackenzie had begun to regret his youthful decisions. He was regretting having to leave his wife, Cade's mother, and going to Cassandra. It all started when Lucia, Cade's mother, gave birth to Cade. Before giving birth to their son, Lucia and Mackenzie were in love, even though their marriage was not a love marriage. It was an arranged marriage by the parents of both Lucia and Mackenzie. Mackenzie's father, who was a really wealthy man, thought it would be good if his son got married to the daughter of his rich politician friend, because the friend was the only person richer than him in the country. Then, Mackenzie had been in a relationship with a girl, but at his father's command, he broke up with the girl to be with Lucia Travinsky. Lucia on her part was not told of the arrangement, but her parents kept telling her how much their endorsed spouse for her would treat her well. Now, Lucia was innocent as a dove
Cade's phone beeped twice. It was a message from an unknown number. It said, ‘Cafe Throne, let's meet there. Now. It's urgent!’ Cade looked at the message again. Who was this? It was not his mother, he knew, because she always hated Cafe Throne. It was not Raegan because she was on the bed with him. It was not Gale because Gale never sent those kinds of messages. It had to be Alex using a different number. Cade laughed after figuring it out. "What's up, baby?" Raegan asked. "Oh, nothing. Just my brother being my brother.""Oh." she said. She was about to ask why Cade and his brother were fighting so much when he stood up from the bed. Her own phone beeped and she groaned as she picked it up."I have to go now. It’s important. An investor is demanding my presence or my company will be sued. I’m really sorry, I know we were supposed to spend the day together." She said as she got up from the bed."It’s okay, I understand more than anyone how work can get." He said with a smile. “I’ll
Hailey was done having Cade's nonsense. After the embarrassing stunt he pulled on her the last time, Hailey was up with a fatal plan for Cade. How dare he shove her out of his house naked like that? He just had to pay. It was a usual ritual for Hailey to go back to her city and sulk for a while before coming up with a new plan, but not this time. This time, Hailey did not even need to go home to make any plans. She could easily come up with something that would kill the man, and only because he had refused to cooperate. So, after some time passed since the last incident between them, she made a new plan and went to visit Cade again. This time, not to seduce him. This time, to teach him a lesson that he would never forget, so when next he sees her, he would act right. It was a very sunny day, more sunny than it had been in the past few weeks. While some saw it as a clement weather for their events and thanked God for it, Cade saw it as an inconvenience. He had a few errands to run acr
Hailey raised up her neck like one who was proud of what she was yet to say. "Well, you and I created magic together. Believe it or not, I was the actual reason why you became this big again. So, we are a team, and you should come back to your team. We’re good together, and I admit that I may not have treated you so well in the past but I was just trying to inspire you to do better. And look at you now, you’re doing great. I deserve some credit for that, not to be tossed aside like I mean nothing when we both know that you love me.""With the way you raised up your eyebrows before speaking, one would think you were about to say something wise. Only to be disappointed by the stupid shit you spew over and over again. Each time you talk, I'm disappointed, when I should be used to it by now. But you want to know why I can't get accustomed to how you talk? It is because somehow you manage to sound even more stupid than you sounded a second before saying another word. Now, haven't you just
The news travelled fast like wildfire, and before the day was over, a hashtag on all social media platforms was trending. It was tagged #ceocadeisarapist. It started from the young lady who had recorded the live event, and got so many shares and engagements, till it was the talk of the whole country. Cade sat in his office with a scowl on his face and was even more shocked. How did Hailey think of such a demeaning thing to do? To have run out of his office almost naked? Didn't she have any shame? And to cry about being raped? Where did that come from? He had not even touched her! Matter of fact, he was going to give the security staff an order to never let her in the company's premises again, but look at what she did. He shuddered whenever he looked into his phone. It was one post or another on Facebook, or one aggravating tweet on Twitter. It did not end at the social media platforms, the news channels had begun to circulate a video that Cade could guess was from the people who rec
Cade decided that it was time to act. He had not come out publicly to address the whole situation concerning the alleged rape that Hailey accused him of, even though his PR and marketing team thought it was wise of him to, since the trending hashtag had gone from just a hashtag, to calling for Cade's arrest. He had decided not to do any of that because he wanted to prove his innocence in court not on social media. Alex had also come out, using the whole situation for his own advantage. He even began a move against Cade, saying that he was no part of Cade's misdoings, as if anyone asked him. And was now actively campaigning to take Cade’s spo as CEO. Cade did not mind Alex's noise on the social media. He knew that Alex was always looking for something against him, and Hailey had served him that opportunity on a golden platter. Cade thought of giving her the option of coming out to the public with the truth by herself instead of fighting it out at court, but that would just be him bein
"Mr Milton was like my business hero and role model," Evan began to speak. "This won’t be a surprise to anyone listening to me. Until now, he has proved to be an impeccable business man. In fact, my fiancee who is the victim of his condemnable act asked me to partner with his company because it would do us a lot of good. And so I took her advice and sent him a proposal. But when we were at his office to sign off the paperwork, he commented on my wife's breasts. I was offended and I immediately made my displeasure known. He also spoke to her in a familiar way when they were meeting for the first time.""Did you say he commented on your fiancee's breasts?" The lawyer asked. "Yes, sir.""What were his exact words?""I can't really remember, but he said something along the lines of ‘your fiancee would be really brilliant, only if she was not showing me her breasts. I was seated right there with her so how could she have done such a thing without my notice? And she wore a modest gown sinc
Hailey sat down on the recliner in her house filing her nails. She was indoors more nowadays than she was before the false accusation of rape she passed on Cade. Since the lawsuit, she had been receiving cancellations from so many social media platforms and even people on the physical level. All she could do now was hide behind the shelter of her grandfather's mansion. Her fiance had also called off their engagement, due to the fact that Hailey had been lying to him all these while. Before he called off the engagement, he made sure to get the truth from her that day."Tell me the truth, Hailey," he said while they sat in his room after the court case, "I deserve to be told the truth. I want to hear it from you. Were you really trying to seduce the man? Was all he said true?" Evan had asked.Hailey pitied the man more than she respected him. So, out of that pity she told him the truth. She sighed before she began. It was going to be a long story. "He was my husband before, while we we
